advocacy groups say if there is a crisis students need to follow adult instructions and not be on a phone. >> bill: thanks, nice to see you in the snow out there. stay warm, all right? thank you. >> dana: it the cold out there. i know parents do want to be in touch but not on school property mean you couldn't put them in the bags. new jersey has a better idea it looks like. we'll see. >> i have young sister doing this. she is teaching and they leave them outside and she thinks it is great. >> dana: i did an interview with kevin mccarthy and went longer than the original 20 minutes. he has also thoughts how much they can get done in congress and how difficult it will be but also the challenges and opportunities ahead. check it out. i will see you on five tiefsh harris faulkner is next. >> harris: fox news alert.

when president trump promised to move away from the days on dwelling on what divides us he meant it. trump with the executive orders, some aimed at making america merit-based not bending to d.e.i. the promises of outcomes, not of equality. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." the a, by the way, it's deia in the actual document and announcement today. the a is for accessibility. the clock ticking down for d.e.i. programs in the federal government. all employees in those roles will officially be put on paid leave starting the end of business 5:00 p.m. eastern. the president's order explains that those departments and their policies deny, discredit and undermine the traditional american values of hard work, excellence and individual

achievement. favor an unlawful, corrosive an identity based spoil system. hard working americans who deserve a shot at the american dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex. it also aims to the encourage to end the d.e.i. and d.e.i.a. programs by defining them as a form of discrimination and follows an inauguration day that dismantles all government initiatives like that within 60 days. a promise we heard on the campaign trail a lot. promises made and kept. here is the president. >> president trump: we will terminate every diversity, equity and inclusion program across the entire federal government. we will ban these unlawful policies from the -- we'll ban them from the private sector as well. in america, we believe in the merit system. the merit system.

we are going to stop the destructive and divisive diversity, equity and inclusion mandates. [cheers and applause] all across the government. and private sector and return our country to the merit system. >> harris: senator tim scott was with me yesterday. >> promises made, promises kept. what we know about president trump is every single thing you are hearing being done today are the things he foreshadowed on the campaign trail. >> harris: the "wall street journal" agrees with his column titled trump delivers on his promise. arguing the president wants to pivot from his predecessor's obsession with racial differences, as do millions of americans of all political stripes. in "focus" with me now on the set, i'm excited to see him.

charms payne. when i was in israel when trump moved the embassy to jerusalem. there were street signs the new embassy said promises made, promises kept. >> didn't take long. >> harris: it was the front page of the jerusalem newspaper. >> it is amazing and we've been bogged down, all right, for a long time fighting the wars of yesteryear. we spent too much time on that and not enough time on actually we've achieved a lot as a young country. i don't think a lot of people realize how young we are compared to china, japan, european nations. we're a young nation and we have achieved things that none of those countries have been able to achieve. i'm one of these people that say

we have a ways to go but we are far past, you know, where anyone else is in such a short period of time. why put so much energy into it especially the competitive landscape? we need to be focused as much as possible on the same page. >> harris: as we ramp up with a.i., whatever is coming next, those programs and those applications are going to depend on what we can do, not what we look like. >> yeah. and the brain power that it will take to make this work to stay ahead of the curve. they don't ask any of those questions putting in that kind of information. >> harris: a gallup poll taken in the final weeks of biden's term. 39% of americans said race relations got worst over the past four years. 24% said race relations had improved. fewer, only 22% said the

situation for black people had improved during the biden presidency. 34% said black people lost ground. charles. >> that's what the biden presidency was all about, though. this is what really shocks me. his whole -- everything that biden did. remember when he spoke to the ncaap said they will put you in chains. it was about fear for black people and anxiety and you can't make it. but if you empower big government we'll put you in a position. you know, it is so belittling, even on the campaign trail. everything he has done if his political career has been belittling. kamala harris started seeing how many black men they were losing and she came out with that initiative. remember that? we'll help you open up a weed shop. what year do you think this is and what group of people do you

think we are? it is not 1959 or 1938. they have gotten away with it for so long. >> harris: it is interesting. they were trying to take america back pre-civil rights. is that where they were taking us? >> every day it felt like we were fighting something already in the history books. >> harris: the dow is in the green this morning. president trump is bringing in big bucks and fulfilling a campaign promise to invest in america. more than $1 trillion in private investments are already pledged to u.s. initiatives since election day. yesterday the president announced the collaboration between oracle, open a.i. and softbank called star gate. they will build artificial intelligence data center. their total investment over the next four years makes up half a trillion dollars. as i just mentioned, it is being

talked about by trump. let's watch the president. >> president trump: we're starting off with tremendous investment coming into our country at levels that nobody has really ever seen before. a new american company that will invest $5 hundred billion at least in a.i. infrastructure in the united states and quickly moving creating over 100,000 american jobs almost immediately. >> harris: this is ambitious. it is affecting the markets or not? what are we watching? >> you have the dow up. the nasdaq, more technology heavy, is over 1% higher and on the s&p 500. two sectors out of 11. communication and technology. it has been affecting the markets. you should see the moves in the last 24 hours. all of these things that are off initiatives. not just a.i. the companies that built these

data centers, the companies that powered these data centers. >> harris: is that a lot of jobs? >> a ton of jobs. this morning in south carolina the utility company said they would finish a nuclear power plant. $9 billion put into it. abandoned because the biden administration wouldn't let it come through. those things are coming through. reinvi reinvigorating. these stocks are up huge and a great reflection. we want to own this space. we have to own this space. >> harris: that's what sam altman said. we have to. >> no doubt about it. >> harris: always good to see you. he is so positive until he disagrees with you. americans across most of the country are in the grips of winter and the south is feeling it in an epic way. many people are under watches and warnings now. this has been days of this.

a deadly winter storm hit millions from texas to florida to the carolinas and some of those areas go for years without ever seeing any snow on the ground. so the preparation, you can imagine how hard they have been working up until this point and now they get hit with all this. it's a powerful system causing widespread closures and traffic disruptions and now all of that is compounding because it has been going on for days. fox weather meteorologist is here in houston. >> that effect is still being felt in the lone star state and the gulf coast. several areas that got anywhere from three inches of snow and on going across parts of the southeast today. the big concern now is that the cold air is still sticking around. we saw really cold temperatures this morning across the nation and really across the south

where a lot of our temperatures for the lows into the morning hours were in the 20s or sub freezing. it felt like teens. all of this snow melt across louisiana and moving into parts of mobile, alabama will start to melt and as we go through the overnight hours it will be freezing as well. we saw several inches of snow in these areas. going into the latter half of the week the cold temperatures will likely stick around into that as well. that concern for refreeze in an area like houston is a big concern. we do have folks finally starting to get out and about in these conditions. we had icy conditions earlier in the day. these icy conditions here are now melting as the sun has started to come up and we had warm temperatures -- warming temperatures, temperatures on a warming trend. that will start to melt. heading into tomorrow. issues like that will start to refreeze once again and going into the latter half of the week

it will continue to be the concern across the south. >> harris: that's a problem for all those people who are deciding now the flights, we can't get on those, let's drive. don't drive at night. the black ice you can't see it. thank you very much. >> have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. there are gay, lesbians and transgender children in democrat, republican and independent families. >> harris: that was yesterday's nation fall prayer service. if you thought people would get together an pray. you got the stern lecture from the left. visible eye rolls from trump and vance. trump is moving at lightening speed to reshape the federal workforce. charles payne and i just got into it. there is more. his tag line from the apprentice, remember, you are fired.

>> president trump: we won, now the work begins. you are witnessing the dawn of the golden age of america. that's what it is going to be. we're bringing it back. we'll bring it back fast. we are going to bring it back fast. >> harris: president trump is on a hot schedule, which includes plenty of pink slips for federal bureaucrats as he reshapes the federal workforce. he set a hiring record yesterday with 1,300 staff appointees. among his long list of executive actions, trump signed an order

known as schedule f. it strips jobs protection for thousands of federal workers. he originally signed it at the end of his first term but president biden overturned it and reversed it. mark meredith is in washington, d.c. mark, i am getting emails and posts on social media from people upset about this. all of a sudden people are like no, you have to save this agent. i was surprised to see that. >> you have a lot of people still trying to understand what this could mean for them. it is a change and change can be scary for some people. before politics president trump made you are fired his catch phrase. now back in office he is making it easier to dismiss federal employees who may try slow down or stop his agenda. he issued that order on monday empowering the administration to reclassify many career federal employees and trump himself explained why he thinks the change is necessary.

>> it's an executive order for the workforce. >> president trump: we are getting rid of all of the cancer, i call it cancer, the cancer caused by the biden administration. >> the national treasuries employees union is suing over the matter. other government unions firing back aren't happy. the head of the american federation of government employees put out a statement saying this unprecedented assertion of executive power will create an army of people beholding only to trump. the constitution or the american people. the integrity of the entire government could be harmed if not stopped. russ vought defended efforts to reshape the federal workforce. he is in the senate budget committee. people need to show up in person to the office and dismissing some high-profile democrats serving in areas council positions. he has revoked the security clearances of people who publicly cast doubt on the

legitimacy of hunter biden's laptop. president trump is saying he wants to make sure that people working within the federal government are working together and not necessarily against his administration. >> harris: mark, thank you. bring in "focus" kellyanne conway, former senior counselor to president trump and k.a. consulting president. good to see you. you heard mark's report there. tell me, this is more than just getting rid of those people who might work against the president. this is also trimming the government down. i would imagine. >> it is, harris. this is what america voted for and what president trump and his team are executing on day one and two. the facts. roughly about 4,000 of the 2.2 million federal government workers are political appointees. think about that. so the rest are what we would say in the private sector should be at-will employees. you can be fired for cause and really any reason like the rest of us. 94% of employees in the private

sector are at will between their employee/employer relationship. this just changes that relationship. james shirk and michael regas, two men i worked with in the white house and at america first policy have written about this over the last couple of years. schedule f should allow the president to do what he wants to do. examples in the civil rights division of the department of justice you have had career lawyers refuse to work on matters they say they disagree with politically. that's your job. we had people at epa withholding policy information to our political appointees in the first term we had to read about it in the newspaper. they aren't always truthful to the political appointees when they need to collaborate. this will help change that.

>> harris: helpful to know those numbers as well. i was thinking maybe it was more widespread than that. 4,000 out of 2.2 million workers are political appointees. doesn't every president do this? >> they do. the fact that president trump broke a record yesterday in the 1300 or so hires doesn't mean joe biden, barack obama or the bushes couldn't have done the same. they just didn't. so the fact that he is going with a certain urgency than others, maybe they thought it was not as important. that is not on him. this is what americans voted for. they voted for a government that is less intrusive, invasive, expensive and expansive and it has to start at the root. this is not just deep state and dreamer swamp. this is beyond that. this is not personal to anyone. this affects everyone at the same time. he basically is putting everyone on notice you need to be -- he is saying merit-based the way the supreme court said it. merit-based employment.

show up to work like everybody in the private sector. do your job for fair wages and all this ridiculous lying and screaming headlines and pressure you shared with your audience those are just people afraid. they are afraid not of what might happen by trump but afraid they will be held to account. >> harris: they lose what they think they deserve and where d.e.i. the e stands for equity. that's not what it is about. it's equality. you want to promise opportunities to people. you can't promise them outcomes. if they don't do a job and awful at it, you have to get rid of them or otherwise deficient in those areas. you talked about that breaking a record of hiring. i brought it up. not breaking it in confirmations. it looks like democrats are trying to work against this process. under obama it was day one he had seven cabinet members confirmed and trump had one on the first full day in office yesterday. what do you do with those democrats? >> this is an area where

president trump had more of his cabinet confirmed in 2017 than he does now eight years later. i think some people are dragging their feet. i know some folks are saying they are waiting on paperwork. this is something majority leader thune and the others in charge of the committees have said is their top priority. make sure you are confirming anybody in my administration who has oversight for national security issues. that will be some obvious stuff. the pentagon, secretary of state. marco rubio but also treasury and commerce, also omdi. also cia, agriculture. you name it. our national sovereignty and security is covered by that. economic security, energy security is national security. i hope we can get democrats on board as well. happy to read the reports that. democratic members joining doge committee in the house. that's wonderful.

let's get democratic senators on board to confirm the appointees. >> harris: i love it. so positive. filled with information as always. border czar tom homan announcing the first raids have begun. he says ice has already nabbed hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals who are in america. the progressive pushback is also very real. most sanctuary cities and states are refusing to cooperate with the trump administration and protestors are taking to the streets as well. plus trump's order ending birthright citizenship is facing some legal challenges right off the bat. here is his former attorney, attorney general bill barr. >> it will take -- an uphill battle but it is worth starting the battle. i think once the people understand the arguments, they will be supportive of what the president is trying to accomplish. >> harris: 22 state attorneys

general are suing. how will president trump and the courts respond? gianno caldwell in "focus" next.

please contribute t2t.org now >> harris: texas knows now is the time to secure the southern border with a new president determined to make that happen. texas crews installed additional floating barriers in the rio grande hours after president trump was sworn into office. biden administration, as you know, had fought to get all of that taken down and forced them to take down the wiring helping to keep people out, that protective wire. texas governor abbott posted this. i will work closely with president trump. america is back, as we have bone reporting for years the illegal immigrant crisis has been hurting cities across america. the trump administration promised raids to deport illegals, border czar tom homan

says it started. >> we're concentrating on the worst first. the public safety threats. national security threats. just yesterday in the last 24 hours ice has arrested over 308 serious criminals. ice is doing their job and prioritizing just as the president said they would. ice is perform excellently right now in the field and they'll continue every day. >> harris: one of the first is chicago. governor pritzker says customs and immigration enforcement is going after as many as 2,000 people and there was a planned protest over those deportations. some members of the city council are being pushed to roll back sanctuary city policies. however, the more liberals, that progressive mayor johnson and his allies on the council shot down that effort. garrett tenney is live in chicago. >> it would have allow ed chicago police with ice

involving a violent criminal. the kind of people state and local officials claim they don't want to be here. instead progressives on the city council have spent the past week preparing to fight this expected ice operation by canvassing latino neighborhoods to pass out these flyers telling folks to not open their doors and remain silent if ice agents show up looking for any convicted criminals. >> talking to people. the fear is palpable and vocalized. people on the streets are saying they are scared that ice agents will show up at their door steps, workplaces, places of worship or places going to school. they are scared of that. that's a problem. >> governor pritzker could push for changes in the state sanctuary policies to allow illinois police to cooperate in a limited way but hasn't given any signs saying that he is thinking that.

even saying criminal migrants should be arrested and removed. >> if there are violent criminals convicted of violent crime they are supposed to be deported. that has been the law of the united states for a long time. i don't want them in my state and country if you will commit crimes and undocumented, you don't deserve to stay in this country. >> the said irony is by not helping to remove those folks, democrats here say the folks they are trying to protect, those law-abiding individuals who are here illegally, by not cooperating with ice, more of those very individuals will get picked up by ice while agents are trying to track down those who are the most dangerous. one example during an ice operation in chicago back in 2018, agents arrested 156 migrants. of those, only 74 had criminal convictions. the other half were folks who got caught up and were

collateral arrests. tom homan and others are warning we'll see a lot more of that because of these sanctuary policies. >> harris: just so i'm clear, if they came here illegally they already committed a crime. the 156, 74 had committed crimes in their former countries or this one, but the balance of that was from what you are saying -- that's what i want to get straight. were here illegally anyway. >> here illegally not violent criminals. that's what the administration is focusing on in this initial set of operations. >> harris: that's helpful. gianno caldwell. the last administration ras wass trying to legalize coming over our border in many illegal ways, crawled in, went around security checkpoints. if you got here, it's safe. that's not sovereignty that's an

open door. picking up these people along with the violent criminals. not pick up anybody? that's what today they wanted. it's different today. >> pritzker is saying he doesn't want violent criminals but people broke the law and came over here is the exact same thing. you committed a crime by entering the united states of america and it has cost us in blood and treasure. blood by the 100,000 people who have overdosed or on a drug and we've seen that in recent years since biden has taken office and treasure with the billions of dollars of resources usurped from the people of illinois and the city of chicago and new york and across the country. it must come to an end. thank god this day has come to get the country back on its feet with donald trump in office. >> harris: you knew there would be pushback.

now there is more legal action, democratic attorneys general are suing across the country, suing president trump over the birthright citizenship executive order. a map showing the lawsuits spread across 22 states. constitutional law professor jonathan turley says he believes this issue could make it to the u.s. supreme court. watch. >> the real value of the executive order is not that it has binding legal effect on anything other than federal agencies. but that it could trigger a long-awaited court fight to bring clarity to this issue. it could ultimately go to the supreme court. >> harris: your reaction. >> well, you know, i think he has a point there. i would never challenge the professor. i think he is excellent in his legal commentary. that would be codified in the supreme court but the facts are we need to focus on americans first. people who built a life here not

people who decided they were pregnant and came across just to have a child within the united states and get those particular protections. that is usurping resources from americans. it is imperative congress comes up with an immigration plan to take care of all these issues. we have been talking about it for decades. things need to come to a change because we have to protect americans first. >> harris: you and i were at events in washington for the inauguration. one in particular where tim scott and byron donalds from florida, congressman and senator tim scott. there is a focus on being able to do the big bipartisan things. what was your take on lawmakers you talked with? >> well, people are excited. there is a lot of enthusiasm and energy around the new administration and i have to be honest that isn't just republicans and conservatives and people who voted for trump. i heard from people who voted

for harris and biden the previous election. people who would never give donald trump the time of day. they are excited. people have been lit everywhere because we've been in a terrible state of affairs for four years, border, crime, inflation, issues that affect every american. they are now thinking we have a guy who is now in office who means business. that's why people are excited and looking forward to four years of donald trump and folks who didn't vote for him, many are looking to give him a chance. >> harris: thank you, good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> harris: many expected a traditional prayer service. wouldn't you? it is the national prayer service. not so much. president trump and vance taking office turned into a lecture to them and the rest of the country. a hard left twist at the prayer

service. plus the house is expected to vote on the revised version of the laken riley act today. likely to hand president trump his big win in his sweeping illegal immigration agenda. >> we have a mandate from the american people. we have a mandate and a destiny to fill in history. an amazing time. it can be to golden age for america.

(♪)

>> harris: it looks like president trump will soon get his first legislative victory. passing the laken riley act. it's named after laken riley of georgia university, a nursing student there murdered last year by an illegal imbruglia im -- immigrant. 12 senate democrats voted in favor of the bill. it will land on the president's desk if it passes the house the second time with the revision. it is expected to. that will be huge. we may be seeing a trend among democrats that could be a big headache for chuck schumer. legislative support from red state democrats could create a potential opening for senate republicans to pass their agenda items.

gop senator thom tillis. >> i particularly liked it was a strong bipartisan vote coming out of the senate. we need to do more of that. certain things we'll do on a party line basis but a lot can be done if we're smart, patient and we execute. >> harris: there are changes ahead when it comes to the debt ceiling and a looming government shutdown in march. they just pushed that can down the road. chad pergram is on capitol hill. chad. >> good morning. republicans are talking unity right now but they are miles from having concrete specifics on their tax cut bill. they also have not addressed any spending bills since before christmas. i pressed mike johnson where gop divisions may eventually lie. >> these are healthy family discussions, not just inside the house republican conference but between the house and senate republicans. and that dialogue is going very well. >> republicans have a slim majority but may need help from

gop leaders to impose discipline. that could get numbers to stick together on tough votes. all republicans will vote for the revised laken riley act later today joined by at least four democrats. >> that's what they should do. i don't think all democratic districts are monolithic. i would encourage any member who comes to congress to listen to your voters. >> moderate democrats believe they were burned on immigration in the last election. liberal democrats will oppose the laken riley act today. >> my opinion it exploits her tragic death to pass a bad bill. maybe rather than exploit every tragedy then maybe we get serious passing legislation that is well thought out, gone through regular order where people have an opportunity to improve it. >> after the house passes the laken riley act it goes to president trump to sign into law. it is not just the first

legislative victory for the new president but a bipartisan legislative victory as well. >> harris: chad, thank you. the power panel now. matt gorman, from targeted victory and former campaign advisor to senator tim scott and hicks evaluation group founder fred hicks. fred, did you notice what a democratic fire brand bennie thompson said listen to your voters. if they listen to voters in red state areas they'll vote with republicans. >> one thing i would like to remind our viewers democrats wanted to pass a border. >> harris: we want you to celebrate you might be bipartisan. >> democrats have bipartisanship. let's get same -- >> let's get it done. >> there are challenges with it.

>> harris: there are challenges with everything. but when bennie thompson says listen to your voters, matt, that's a signal listen to your voters. that would be different from what they did taking biden off the ticket to replace with kamala harris. let the voters speak. >> the newly pardoned bennie thompson might be speaking truth there. the immigration issue changed. i would have never dreamed democrats and republicans would come together on this. it speaks to the fact things are different than eight years ago on the hill with president trump now. eight years ago i was there. a lot of republicans were skeptical of trump. staff didn't know him and trust him. what you see in laken riley bill the start of this. administration working with congress that's focused, knows what it wants to do and feels empowered based off the american people and the last election, a combination of both to get its agenda done. laken riley is the first start

of this. you'll see more in the first 100 days. >> harris: matt, on that same topic it also represents something else that this president is trying to do and that is to secure the border and to send a very loud message. we had a border agent killed on the northern border just within the last couple of days. this is a big mission. it crosses the country north to south now. he knows he has -- this first act says americans and potential victims if we don't do our jobs right to get the criminal illegals out we hear you. we see you and do our best. matt. >> you are right. when you have the head of ice in new york city saying it would take a lifetime to get all the criminal migrants out of new york city you see how big the job is. democrats will make it seem like seal team six handcuffing 80-year-old grand movements it is not the case. we have 25 million -- how many migrants we have in this country. a lot are criminals we need to get out immediately. well dough that.

>> harris: i can tell you there are 58,000 known criminals who came into this country already breaking our first law that have violent pasts behind them. 58,000 in new york city. 13,000 who have committed murder. they have a big job. national prayer service yesterday was billed as a moment to quote offer prayers of thanksgiving for our democracy. that seems very unifying. it wasn't. it turned into more of a left wing lecture. >> i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. there are gay, lesbians and transgender children in democratic, republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives. they may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of

immigrants are not criminals. they pay taxes and are good neighbors. >> harris: president trump said this after the service. >> what did you think of the service? >> president trump: what do you think? did you like it? did you find it exciting? not too exciting, was it? i don't think it was a good service, no. thank you very much. >> harris: a lot of criticism. pastor jeffries said the pastor insulted rather than encouraged. there was disgust in the audience. she was given a chance today. instead she disgraced herself with a lecture. why do this, fred? any idea on that? >> so the idea that freedom of speech and religious faith is a paradigm or the corner of one particular ideology is false.

the reality is jesus himself often made people very uncomfortable by challenging and making calls to the conscious. i do not agree with everything they said but she chose that opportunity to make a call to the consciousness of the president and vice president to be merciful, beyond the specifics of what she talked about regarding immigrants and other things. her overall call was for mercy and to be kind and gentle and bring us together. i think charlie kirk and others will missed it. >> harris: you made the points where you didn't agree with her. that's so southern. bless your heart. you have the right to say it. >> imagine this was a catholic surge with a president harris or walz and you had a priest. >> harris: she wouldn't go. >> number two, it's not 2017 anymore. nobody buys this stuff and

nobody cares. it doesn't hit the same way. she got 15 minutes of fame. six minutes on "the view." those 14 minutes are just about up. it is a different time and americans agree with trump and a large part why he won. >> harris: one -- >> i'm not sure what that americans don't care about. we're built on christians principles of mercy, kindness, bringing people together. i'm not getting into the details of she said. the theme we need to bring people together and operate with love. >> harris: she could have done that without politics. >> nobody cares about resistance heroes. it doesn't hit the same way as it did eight years ago. >> harris: i'm leaving now and going to "outnumbered." thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." i'll see you after the break. ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪
